Answer:

The volume is 343 times as large.

The length is 7 times as large.

Explanation:

If the original cube has side length s, its volume is given by ...

V = s³

When the side length is changed by a factor of 7, the new volume is ...

V = (7s)³ = 7³×s³ = 343s³

The volume of the cube changes by a factor of 7³ = 343.

__

The problem statement tells you the length is 7 times as large.
